colostrum harvesting
anyone else having this issue? my nipples leak so so much colostrum, but any time i’ve tried to express, manually or with a pump, my boobs just don’t want to work with me, and nothing comes out ):

Im not there yet but In antinatal class, they said after a warm bath or shower to do it. Or while you're in the bath.
@Elise I'm in the exact same boat as you!
Do it when you feel leaking!
@Nishat most of the time i don’t notice until my boob is suddenly in a puddle on the bed 🤣
A relaxing warm shower or bath and doing it in bed while I'm relaxed with a warm drink always helped me x
I did it in the bath with a candle lit and some music on. Boost your happiness as much as you can it’s the happy hormone that allows you to collect. Massage your boob in a c shape and don’t squeeze your nipple. Cup your boob side on, massage and squeeze slightly (or massage then use a pump) this is what worked for me and I started at 36 week xx

Can you wear a catcher? I’m nearly 37 weeks and still can’t get anything out, no leaking or anything!
